SAMMI MERRITT

Web Developer

HOBBIES

I have many hobbies, but they can be summed up in one statement: I love to create. I crochet, cross-stitch, draw, paint, create websites, make games and graphics, and do anything else I can get my hands on. I am also an avid reader and watcher of Netflix. In my non-creative time, you can find me playing video games or watching documentaries.

WHAT LED HER TO THIS POINT?

I have been working on websites since high school, where I took a crash course in web development and fell in love with learning coding languages. After that, I focused mainly on traditional art training until I graduated from FGCU with an AA in Art one semester after graduating high school. With one degree under my belt, I decided to continue my education in the digital design field, at which point I began web development courses at Cape Coral Institute of Technology. I have immersed myself in web development ever since, and love finding creative ways to use CSS and HTML to create cool things.

MY ROLE HERE @ ATILUS

As a front-end developer, I write and code the parts of a website that the user gets to see. At Atilus, we focus on creating sites in a CMS, Orchard and WordPress specifically, which makes it easy for clients to make edits to the site after launch. I also work a lot with client support and website maintenance.
